English
absorb the push, pull and kickback
forces of your saw without losing control
(see section on reactive forces).
WARNING
To reduce the risk of seri -
ous or fatal injury to the
operator or bystanders
from loss of control,
never use the chain saw
with one hand. It is more
difficult for you to control
reactive forces and to
prevent the bar and chain
from skating or bouncing
along the limb or log.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of cut injuries, keep
hands and feet away from the cutting
tool. Never touch a moving cutting tool
with your hand or any other part of your
body.
WARNING
Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Special care must be taken in
slippery conditions (wet ground, snow)
and in difficult, overgrown terrain. Be
extremely cautious when working on
slopes or uneven ground. Watch for
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots, rocks, holes and ditches to avoid
stumbling. There is increased danger of
slipping on freshly debarked logs. For
better footing, clear away fallen
branches, scrub and cuttings. Use
extreme caution when cutting small-size
brush, branches and saplings because

slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull
you off balance.
WARNING
Take extreme care in wet and freezing
weather (rain, snow, ice). Put off the
work when the weather is windy, stormy
or rainfall is present.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder or any
other insecure support. Never hold the
machine above shoulder height. Do not
overreach.
Position the chain saw in such a way
that your body is clear of the cutting
attachment whenever the motor is
running. Stand to the left of cut while
bucking.
Never put pressure on the chain saw
when reaching the end of a cut. The
pressure may cause the bar and rotating
saw chain to pop out of the cut or kerf, go
out of control and strike the operator or
some other object. If the rotating saw
chain strikes some other object, a
reactive force may cause the moving
saw chain to strike the operator.
STIHL recommends that first-time users
should cut logs on a sawhorse – see
"Cutting small logs."
Working Conditions
Operate your chain saw only under good
visibility and daylight conditions. Work
carefully.
WARNING
Your chain saw is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area. Stop the motor
immediately if you are approached.
